Summary
[edit]DescriptionWildfires continue to rage in the Sakha Republic (Copernicus).jpg |
English: Although the first snow has already appeared in parts of Siberia, there are still ongoing wildfires in the Sakha Republic, as documented in this Copernicus Sentinel-3 image acquired on 8 September. The Sakha Republic is the area of Russia most affected during the 2021 fire season. The current fires are ongoing southwest of Zhigansk, in the Lena river basin. Although local authorities say that the fires are of no concern and do not threaten populated areas, at the time of acquisition of this image the area affected by ongoing fires in the Sakha Republic alone still amounts to 88,566 ha, totalling 8.47 million ha for in 2021 to date. Sensors onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites supply crucial data for studying and monitoring the impact of climate change on fragile and essential ecosystems such as the boreal forests and peatlands of the Arctic tundra. |
